clan tags

i know it was already agreed upon to go with some fancy form of SICK but in all honesty that seems rather overdone...

why cant we do something more old school like for example say my name was Thasador we could do Thasador Macleod (just as an example). not really sure how that would work with sick but perhaps we could come but with another name to go with the long title of silver inferno crusading knights. i just like that idea better than the usual -[SICK]- sort of clan tags... etc

to me that just seems cool to have a load of people all part of a tightly nit clan, seems a lot closer than the usual and something i think that would differentiate us from all others.

imagine 8 people all in the server all with (for example) macleod at the end. so damn cool

Because SICK is not a clan like Macleod. SICK is not a clan at all, it's a Guild.

Groups in FPSs are called Clans. Groups in RPGs (or almost every Medieval Fantasy game) are called Guilds.

Our guild name would have to be "Clan Macleod" for that to work. Or "of the Clan Macleod"

Thus your name would be;

Thasador
of the Clan Macleod

I hope D3 has better denotion of affiliation. Currently you have to sacrifice character numbers to denote your affiliation with a guild or group.

Of a possible 15 characters SICK_ takes up 5, leaving 10 for your actual name. Such as SICK_Archaeon

Where as in WOW, no characters are needed to be sacrificed as your guild name is clearly labeled under your character name. Assuming you first belong to one of course. such as;

Jason
The Argonauts

I find WOWs system much better. I hope it appears in D3.

Ideally we would hope for something that gives the player the greatest freedom with the characters. If WOW didn't have official guild denotion that would suck big time. You only have 12 characters. SICK_ would leave you with 7. Almost everyone here's characters have more than 7 characters to their name. Archaeon, that wouldn't even fit if we had to use the SICK_ tag as well. Fortunately for me, the original name I took the name from is Archaon so it is not true loss for me, but for others.

D3 might have something similar to WOW in that the game makes the tags for you, to a point, you still have to make the tag your self, but it is no way restricts the number of characters one can have in their name. And if it works like WOW we wouldn't have to worry about whether we use x's or _'s or |'s on the side of the name as we would be able to use the full name of the guild. Silver Inferno Crusading Knights. That is assuming guild names do not have a limit in the number of characters they can have in a name.
